negatory on the rtv, it will fail

I would build up the damaged area with JB weld or if you have access to a tig welder..that's better

then file flat, and use a few coats of high temp copper...

i'm a little confused here steve, which housing is no longer available?..i thought the 15f, but they are around for $400 or so.

hmmm..now unobtainium?

Ive been holding onto to a pair of 15f's for a rainy day...might have the complete junker pump from that 50 hour repleacment...someplace..bad bearings but the wearing might...

There are a few troublesome spots to deal with the very first time you pull a blower but I figure an average joe with average joe tools and green hull info could get it done in 4-5 hours without...

Wow 35 hours is a new low record for pump failure…I thought fifty was noteworthy

Trust me, aftermarket bearings are a mistake here

The 15 is one of my favorite skis. Keep up on oil changes and...

We’ll the news that the bearings were shot junked the pump

In peak season I’ve been know to rebuild a junker or two

As long as “somebody else” didn’t make a mess out of it on average I can get them in and out in around 3 hours or so

Some models take a little longer than others

Tik tok

I for one ain’t getting any younger OP…

On the other ski did you plug in the gauge cluster ? Does the led say locked?

Default code is ABCD/ 1234 there is a way to reset it that involves grounding a purple wire I recall

Ok so back on topic

So how many hours on that ski?

The bearing seal failed, the impeller shaft was wandering, the prop destroyed the west ring, then the pump housing

You do NOT want to try...

see post #957

your tech is correct, its a straight swap out, its still good labor for the shop and brp is on the hook if the blower happens to fly apart for any reason.

there is a wire or connector that is barely holding on, that's why when you button it up the system loses all power

Magents can be weakened by dropping them

It was likely a combination of weak magnet and worn magnetic switch in the post

You measure fuel pressure with a gauge

You find the cylinder that is running colder then the others

Put some new plugs in and ride the ski for a few minutes pull the plugs one if then should...

typically this sort of ingenuity has been used to remove kawasaki jet pumps. nice to have that fine lumber around to build it out of and its certainly capable of doing the job quite well.

it could also be the pump bearings seals were compromised and the bearings have been beaten into shrapnel after salt water leaked into the...

You could locate the problem cylinder swap the injector with another one and see if the problem moves with the injector

Was this ski used in salt water?

There won’t be much to see and do not try to clear this by leaning on the starter button hoping it will start spinning
